Ukraine without "guns, clothes or shoes", according to an observer.Several soldiers spoke about travelling to Ukraine after just 11 days since their mobilisation and when one soldier was asked about his shooting practice, he said: "Once. Three magazines".An unnamed observer witnessed newly-scripted soldiers in central Russia and said they had: "No machine guns, nothing, no clothes, no shoes.

orbit this Friday. Measuring a whopping 1.1 miles (1.8km) in diameter the asteroid, named 7335 (1989 JA), has been classed as "potentially hazardous" by NASAHowever, despite the classification, NASA has said it's extremely unlikely to pose a threat to our planet, passing by at a distance of about 2.5 million miles (4 million kilometres) - nearly 10 times the average distance between Earth and the Moon.The asteroid will make its closest approach to Earth at 14:26 UTC (15.26 GMT) on Friday, according to NASA's Centre for Near Earth Object Studies, which tracks space rocks, travelling at roughly 29,348 miles/hour.According to NASA, 7335 (1989 JA) will be the largest space rock to pass Earth this year.NASA discovers around 30 new "near-Earth objects" (NEOs) every week, and at the start of 2019 had discovered a total of more than 19,000 objects.However, the space agency has warned its NEO catalogue isn't complete, meaning an unpredicted impact could occur at "any time".

Vladimir Putin is recruiting a Dad’s Army of old folks to prop up his creaking Ukraine invasion. The Russian army has put out an SOS for volunteers aged up to 60 after sustaining heavy losses during the disastrous six-week campaign.The military wants ex-soldiers nearing retirement age to rejoin in the Siberian cities of Chelyabinsk and Tyumen, according to Russian media.Moscow desperately wants old tank commanders, snipers and engineers.They would join up to 60,000 reservists recently called to active service along with 134,500 new conscripts forced into action.The conscripts - men aged 18 to 27 - make up a quarter of the army and only usually serve for a year.Defence experts said inexperienced fighters sent to Ukraine would be going to a `slaughterhouse’.The Kremlin has promised not to send the new recruits to warzones - but it previously pledged not to launch an invasion.Russia’s recruitment and conscription drives come amid NATO estimate that up to 15,000 Russian troops have perished in the war.

Vladimir Putin is now relying on the help of his very own 'Dad's Army' to help fight his war on Ukraine. In a desperate attempt to make up the numbers to replace soldiers killed in battle, the age cap for Russian military volunteers has been stretched to 60.Retired servicemen are being called up specifically to fill the roles of tank commanders, snipers and engineers in two Siberian cities after around 15,000 Russian soldiers fell to resistance in Ukraine.A rallying cry from the Kremlin for former soldiers to return to duty and make their way to either Chelyabinsk or Tyumen, has been reported by Russian media.

Earth.Influenced by Netflix film Don't Look Up, a team of scientists from the University of California has decided that the best course of action to protect Earth would be to launch as many nuclear missiles at it as possible.The team was headed by professor of physics Philip Lubin.He told The Sun: “(The report is) a serious attempt to look at whether humanity has reached a point where we could prevent what happened to the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.“What we point out is that we easily possess enough nuclear devices to take apart a large object like the one in 'Don't Look Up'.“Our nuclear arsenals are designed to essentially threaten other nations – but those same devices could be used to protect us."In the case of a 10km asteroid, you're talking about an existential threat that's going to kill billions of people."You can say 'but, I'm really worried about the radiation [created by a nuclear defence strategy]', but (you will) also just die.“It's the nature of our natural world that we get hit by comets and asteroids because there are many around," he said.“There are big things out there that, if they did hit us, it would be catastrophic.“On the other hand, there are a lot of smaller things out there, some of which are of similar size to the Chelyabinsk meteor, which are not existential threats, but they could potentially kill a lot of people.”According to armscontrol.org, as of November, 2021, the UK has 225 nuclear warheads in stock, while America has an astonishing 5,550.Russia, however, is home to 6,257.France has 290, while Pakistan, India and China have under 400, too.Israel has around 90 of them, and North Korea possesses about 40 to 50 – although they could be hiding far more that we will never know about due

asteroid is found to be heading towards Earth.Professor Alan Duffy, director of the Space Technology and Industry Institute Professor has said that if a giant boulder of space rock is hurtling our way, "don't look at it".Duffy gave the obvious-sounding advice to the I've Got News For You podcast.He said: "I would say the best advice is, for goodness sake, do not look at this thing."I mean, it‘s going to be hard not to – the brightness of the glare from these objects burning up in the atmosphere."That‘s actually what caused a lot of the injuries in Chelyabinsk (a meteor strike in Russia in 2013), people not unreasonably looked up at this enormous burning fireball in the sky, whose brightness was essentially that of the Sun by the time it

asteroid skimmed just a few hundred miles above the Pacific Ocean on Friday 13, but it wasn’t spotted until it had already missed us.The potential meteor, named 2020 VT4 by astronomers, is roughly the size of a double-decker bus.At that size it is unlikely to have reached the Earth’s surface even if it had been on a direct collision course – instead, it would almost certainly have burned p on entry onto the atmosphere – or even exploded like the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor that caused widespread property damage in a Russian city.It’s the second near-miss from an asteroid this year.

asteroid the size of one which wreaked havoc in Russia is set to make a close approach with Earth on September 1.Labelled asteroid 2011 ES4 by NASA, it measures 22m to 49m in diameter and has been classed as a Near Earth Object (NEO).It is expected to pass closest to the Earth around 5.12pm.Astronomer Dr Tony Phillips wrote on spaceweather.com: "On Sept 1, asteroid 2011 ES4 will fly through the Earth-Moon system only 72,000 miles from Earth – close, but there is no danger of a collision."It is roughly the same size of the Chelyabinsk meteor, which entered Earth’s atmosphere above Russia in February 2013.The meteor triggered a shock wave the broke windows in six Russian cities.
